Implement a unique identifier

[pattyland]

Hi,

it would be good if there was a method to get a unique identifier for a bulb like a MAC address or even better a serial number so that you can recognize discovered bulbs!

Best Regards

I just found self.addr = address in the code :D
Maybe that should be in the readme

I still think that the serial number would be good to know

Hi Sören,

I'll update the readme to include the addr field.

But for the serial number, it would need some more reverse engineering to discover the commands used to retrieve that information. Unfortunately I'm not able to do that now, I'll try next week, and I can't say that it will work for sure..

I'll leave the issue open until I give it a shot :D

Hey @pattyland,

sorry for the delay. After looking around for a bit, i wasn't able to see any UUID from the bulb when doing some requests..
I've included the .addr property in the doc, as this can be used as an UUID in commit b181674

Thx
